About a week or so ago, inappropriate pictures depicting his genitals to various women via his person Tweeter account. When the pictures surfaced, the media jumped on the news which instantly brought Weiner into the spotlight. Since then he has been the topic of discussion on various media outlets from primetime to various shows on Comedy Central.

Weiner had sent multiple pictures using a clip able pulse oximeter on various areas of his body. Even though the events have been unfortunate for Weiner, it has brought a lot of attention to the pulse oximeter industry. The buzz that has been created has sparked a lot of interest in the devices. Many people never knew what a pulse oximeter is, and if they did, they were not aware that there were available for home use.

Weiner is currently under the spotlight, with rumors of an investigation underway. Weiner was been elected to his seat seven times, proving his popularity in his district. He was a strong runner for future elections for the senate. The Democratic Party will feel pain from this loss, and for that reason they may be seen to distance themselves from Weiner.

Various scandals have surfaced over the past few years involving government officials and social media outlets. The power of social media again proves to be great with its ability to reach millions of people within a matter of minutes.
